RIBA Practice Role Model 28.09.17

Haworth Tompkins is one of nine practices selected from across the UK for the RIBA Practice Role Model project, which launched earlier this month. Each practice represents different characteristics of a role model organisation, prompting a wider debate about what it means to be a successful RIBA Chartered Practice. The practice is committed to making architecture and the broader construction industry more diverse, accessible and inclusive. Haworth Tompkins welcomes the project as a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and continue to enrich the practice.
